The Wings of an Angel

I settled for less, and begged for more. I resisted and fought only to feel defeated by it all. When I stopped running I realized I’d already arrived. I gathered the courage to spread my wings, and open to life.

I settled for less
and begged for more

I resisted and fought
only to feel defeated by it all

I gave up
and lost hope

I had my wings clipped
and hid from the world

I dimmed my light
allowed myself to be caged

I cried out in pain
felt lost and afraid

I lost myself
so I could be found

When I stopped running
I realized I’d already arrived

I gathered the courage
to spread my wings
and open to life.

When taking the leap
I realized…that I already
knew how to fly

A blank canvas opened up
for me to create the life
I’d always dreamed of…
and knew in my heart was mine

For every step of my healing
I came closer to me

For each tear I cried
I felt free

That which I’d been searching for
was always within

The one I’d been waiting for
all this time
was me

No one could save me
I had to do it myself
Reclaim my power
rise again and again

I came back home to me
and the most important truth of all:

I AM

The key was now mine
and it is so;
freedom is found by letting go

To allow and let happen
and trust in it all

To honor the
whispers forever calling
me home….

I keep on learning
to love and let go
